Bishop's Cleeve Colt Rovers Under-13s 1 Cinderford Town Under-13s 2
FOR the second week in a row Cinderford Town travelled to Cheltenham to take on a Bishop's Cleeve side in Cheltenham Youth League Under-13 Division Two.
They beat Bishop's Cleeve Colts United 6-3 the previous week and they started brightly against Rovers retaining possession through the midfield of Justin Price, Scott Jackson, Riley McClennan and Jimmy Wicks.
The defence of Will Jessett, Sophie Wicks, Dan Bowles and Lewis White were slao on good form and the introduction of Henry Wall halfway through the half solidified the defence further. It was seconds before the half-time whistle that the deadlock was broken when Dan Bowles hit a looping volley which beat the Rovers keeper.
The second half opened with Rovers looking good and they levelled following a goalmouth scramble.
For the next 10 minutes Cinderford were on the back foot they sent on Gemma Barton and Connor Emsley.
Striker Josh Woodroffe was well marshalled by the Rovers defence but George Ferson was able to capitalise and he drilled home a great goal into the bottom left hand corner.
Keeper James Martin made some important saves late on to secure the win.
Player of the Match: Sophie Wicks.
